Former Lawrenceville Indian Brandt Cochran blistered the nets for 34 points including 8 3 pointers to lead the College of the Ozarks Bobcats to a quarterfinal win over Fisher College (Mass.) 90-76 Friday at the Association of Independent Institutions Tournament being play at Lincoln (Ill.) College. The win moves the squad into the semi-finals Saturday at 8 p.m. against Lincoln Christian College. Should they win, the 19-11 Bobcats would play Sunday for the championship and a berth in the NAIA Division 2 national tournament. A loss would put them in the third place game where a win would also advance them to the national tourney.
